DANGER AHEAD,

Just above the horizon-away off toward
the east-if one will look well he will see
enough TO satisfy himself that speck of a
cloud is there. 1t is not large yet. A
cameo breast pin that some women wear
might hide it from eyes that did not know
the political heavens. 1t Is as innocent as
Byron's moon that looked on the billing of
Juan and the cooling of Haidee As yet il
has no purple flush; nor much of opaline;
nor any thing of amethyst. Still it is there,
clearly outlined against the background of
transparent sky, and unless all signs fail
and all weather signals are shams and de-
lusions. there isn't Democratic mariner
In the country today who will not pro
nounce that cloud the forerunner of another

pers this time for Mr. Blaine and against

quirer and the Louisville Courier Journal

the presidency. That is the combination
about which the Kansas City Times should
be alarmed.

NOT WORTH AN ANSWER.

Topeople who bring and send to this
Q flee, papers published in various parts of
the country containing lylielous articles
about Wichita and requesting us ito 90 for
them, we can only say that the efforts of
friends are appreciated. But if the EAGLE
were to attempt an answer to all such, its
columns would contain little else. The
o ordinarily well Informed newspaperreader
all over the country, does not believe these
slanderous letters and editorials. 1t is the
fetniest number of people who are mean
en- Ough to resort to such means, that are
sm art enough to conceal the jealousy which
causes these productions. They bear the
lie on their face, and are not worth an
answer We do not believe such stories
injure Wichita. AS an evidence that they
do not, it may be cited that this means has
been resorted to in order to injure this city,
but it has gone right along all
the same. Her prospects were
never brighter than now. If these false
hoods have resulted in keeping some people
away from Wichita no injury has been done
the city because people are ing as fast
as they can be taken car of. In fact, all
through the summer great many people
were unable to secure houses, and were
co mpelled to live in tents. People in
Wichita are too busy to pay much stten-
ton to the dead beats who occupy their
time in writing lying letters about this
city
Wichita eagle., 1887-07-31

OF Father O'Reilly, bishop elect of
Wichita, whose funeral took place in Tope-
ka Yesterday, correspondent In the Tope-
ka Commonwealth says: cit may be said
with entire truth that the death of Rev.
James O'ReilIy, pastor of the church OF the
assumption, has caused shock that has
been widely felt in this community, His
own parish embraces large number of
families and persons, and they naturally
are deeply grieved at the sudden death of
one whom they all revere and love. But
the feeling to which l refer extends far
beyond the number of those who recogniz-
ed the deceased as their pastor and eccles-
iastical father. 1t includes many who
have been brought In contact with him
socially, and In relations secular rather
than religious.
AS 1 have had some special opportunities
for becoming acquainted with Father
O'Rellly personally, and IN connection with
matters in which we felt mutual and a
deep interest, it seems to me that now he
has so Unexpectedly passed away it would
be almost positive injustice if l should fail
to express my high estimate of bis charac-
ter, and my grief on account of his death:
All know that Father O'Reilly was social,
genial, kind hearted, but he was much
more than that. He was benevolent,
humane, Christian. He was in sympathy
with the poor and the distressed, whether
in his native land or in his adopted coun-
try. His interest in the welfare of others
was not negative and indolent; it was prac
tical and active Among those who mourn
his death most deeply are the poor and
friendless. The life of every such man, no
matter what his special creed or order, is a
public blessing The death of every such
man is public misfortune.
| do not assume to speak in the slightest
degree for those who were enthusiastically
connected with Father O'Reilly. They
have those who are abundantly competent
to express, so far as acts and words can do
so, their regard for the dead, and their esti-
mate of his noble life and useful labors.
Yet possibly 1t may be comfort to them
to know that others shared their sentiments
both of appreciation and of sorrow.
1t Is inevitable that We should be shock
ed by the death of one who had hardly
reached his prime-of one so earnest and
devoted, and who was just on the point of
entering wider sphere of service. Yet it
becomes us to remember that humble
to the will of God is the duty
of all-and that those who, in high place
or in low, toll for Christ our Lord, and for
His poor, shall not be without their reward.
We believe that our friend has received his |
promotion

RESTORE THE. REPUBLICAN PARTY
TO POWER.

In speaking of Governor Foraker's arti-
Gle in the Forum the Globe Democrat says
that gentleman had no difficulty In present
ing conclusive reasons why the Republican
party should be restored to power In the
executive branch of the government. 1t
may be urged by his opponents that he Sc
lected an extreme case when he showed
how the south has been made and kept
solid, and the election of Democratic
president in 1884 made possible. The case
of Georgia, which he cited as an illustra
ton, was an extreme one, but the forcible
expression of the Republican vote which it
de monstrated differs in degree only from
that resorted to in other southern states,
as the figures prove. The en-
tire vote cast In the election
of the ten congressman chosen in
that state in 1886 was less than Is, 900 In
the aggregate, simply because the elements
opposed to the Bourbon oligsrchy realized

Reports from Riley and Ottawa counties
are that the corn crop in those counties is
failure. The above report does not give
the average acreage compared with that of
last year, but from the information obtaina-
BILE In the form of supplemental answers it
is safe to say the acreage of 1887 has been
increased 90 per cent over that of 1886.
Quite large number of reports say that
most of the corn Is already matured and
little very late corn might be benefited by
rain. The returns so far as received are
from the eastern part of the state and
plainly indicate the crop this year In that
section will exceed that Of the average total
yields by hundreds of thousands of bush
els. The extreme eastern and southeastern
portions of the state have been specially
favored with enormous crops. The re-
turns, although incomplete as vet. show
there will be plenty of corn In this state
and that Kansas this year will ship out of
her borders hundreds of thousands of
burhels.

a VALUABLE PAMPHLET.

Among many of our energetic citizens
engaged in legitimate business none are
more so than the firm Of Hardy Solomon &
Sons, real estate agents and investors Of
capital. located at 331 Douglas avenue.
This enterprising company have just issued
book In pamphlet form containing facts
concerning Wichita. The book Is neat
one, executed by the EAGLE printing and
binding establishment, contains some thirty
pages and is printed on fine quality of
paper. Every line of the book contains
some valuable information, there not being
a single advertisement or anything relative
to that in the entire book. To quote from
the introduction by the compilers, the OBJ
ject of the pamphlet: "The object of this
pamphlet is to present-in a nut shell
such information as the capitalist, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and the home
seeker naturally desire before setting out
from their homes in the several states in
search of place Offering the best induce
ments for the employment of their capital,
their skill and industry"
The frontispiece is an clean cut of Hardy
Solmon's elegant residence on College HILL
The book proper opens with "Facts About
Kansas" showing the rapidity and stability
with which the state has advanced, both as
regards her agricultural interests and num-
Der of inhabitants, setting it forth statiscal-
ly in correct tables, well worth the perusal
of any one who is not yet convinced OF the
"Sunfower state" In the above article
the authors also deal with the live stock
and fruit interests of the state and not for
getting to mention the favorable location of
the same. Facts about Kansas is fol
lowed with an article headed Sedgwick
County, giving its location, natural re-
sources, agricultural and business interests,
their history and advancement from the
date of the corporation of the city of Wichita
the while many valuable and
ever convincing tables of statistics. The
compilers deal ably with the respective
subjects, our city government, the popula-
ton of the city in the different years, the
Indebtedness, the bank clear
ances, the banking houses, new business
houses, manufacturers, building boom,
Of merchandise, railroad and
street cars and lastly real estate. The last
Astounding as they do in figures showing
the truthfulness of the writer's assertions,
with the able comments by the same, will
be the agent through which Wichita will
secure many good citizens and Messrs.
Hardy Solomon & Sons may well feel
proud of their effort as the city of Wichita
teels proud of this enterprising firm.

KIOWA AND VICINITY.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Since my last epistle to the proud bird of
American liberty, and l might add Kansas
liberty, nothing of startling nature has
occurred in Kiowa with the exception of
the rearrest Of Bud Moore for horse steal
ing, whose trial was commenced yesterday,
but owing to the intense heat he could not
stay to see the thing out, and took his de-
parture this morning for some more pleas
ing climate, greatly to the chagrin and dis
gust of few intimate friends who had
a bonded interest of $500 in him. Bud
was at one time highly respected young
man, but in an evil hour he associated
himself with gentlemen who saw millions
in the illegitimate Indian pony business.
And it is thought that he was the brain and
planning power Of the gang that have been
extensively operating in the Indian Terri
tory for some time.
The heat for the past two weeks in this
neck O. the woods is simply intense, and
though there have been no fatalities yet, it
has seriously effected the health of many of
our citizens. Before the new order of
things your correspondent was connected
by back stairway to large and compare
lively frigid Aanheuser beer plant and kept
reasonably cool, but since the saloon has
climbed the golden stairs, the only conso
lation left the average Kiowan,
is to sweat and swear. During
the past week your correspondent lent
himself to the railroad company for bal
last and saw several portions of southern
Kansas. Barber county is In very good
condition, while Harper county is fried,
Sumner county burned and Cowley county
baked. Corn is an absolute failure be-
tween Anthony and Arkansas City and in
the neighborhood of Caldwell there will
not be enough of that cereal produced to
sppease the appetite of a chinch bug The
grass is completely burned and the proba-
bility that hay will command twenty dol
lars per ton next winter is very fiastering.
While we regret very much that the corn
crop is failure. yet we find consolation in
the fact that the crop of candidates was
never more exuberant. This we attribute
to the success of prohibition, as 1t Is much
cheaper to run for office now than 1t was In
days of yore and saloons. The wheels Of
progress are still revolving with astonish-
ing alacrity in Kiowa. Population Is In
creasing, buildings are being erected in
every portion of the city. business is brisk
and the horizon of our future Is tainted
with radient hue that indicates grand,
glorious and brilliant destiny An at
tempt will be made In the near future to
change the county seat from Medicine
Lodge to Lake City, and quiet but Per
sistent canvass of the county shows that
two thirds OF the legal voters are In fsvor

as she hiss been very disrespectful to her

Democrats are as free to vote in any Re
publican state as the Republicans are.
The governor made out an equally good
case for the Republicans on the tariff and
other questions. Mr.. Foraker, in fact,
had no difficulty in demonstrating that
the Republicans should be restored to
power, simply because the bare recital of
the record of the two parties would furnish
overwhelming proof of the truth of this
proposition, without any argument what
